DICE’s forthcoming “not Heroes” Battlefield game, Battlefield 1943, will be delayed on PC until September, reportedly due to the complications of bringing it to the PC platform. Once it turns up it’ll be a downloadable game available for $15. The game will feature a simplified Battlefield 1942-style system, and revamps three of the original maps, Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. There’s a trailer for Wake Island beneath the click.

multivac and stupid as they seem to think the same way on this subject it dosent matter rly.
Looks like new patches for both bf2 and 2142 are coming soon with a new map, heh they going to screw up the game just before the sequel comes out so its unplayable and you need a new game?
The BF2 one is out in beta form and apparently quite good.
Heroes is good fun, but definitely missing either a squad system with some way of convincing other chaps to accompany you to the next point, or equivalent.
I don’t count Bad Company as another BF, because it’s rather different. It’s nice that it has a single player, but still (bearing in mind I’ve only played the multiplayer, and it was ages ago at that) the multiplayer seems very… console-y compared to the PC versions of BF. Probably understandably. Also have heard rumour of a BF3, but I can’t source anything and so shall feel silly.
Finally, regarding the chap at the top who said he could get BF2 + all expansions for about 25$, it’s actually under £6 at a British supermarket website these days, if people feel like playing some before September and have lost/forgotten their account details (damn my memory). =) Damn good price for a great (opinion) game.
